Great British Metal: '00s
Apple Music
With the emotionally intense metalcore of Bullet for My Valentine occupying one pole and the power-folk pirate lore of Alestorm another, this mix shows the range of UK metal at the dawn of the 21st century. Disparate styles abound: stoner sludge from Taint, death-embracing prog from Akercocke, djent chops from SikTh, shock-goth sickness from Cradle of Filth. And every one of them weighs a ton.
